Leave a Review Portland, Oregon News from KGW
Like a Bad Version of Click Bait
The application is wrought with advertisements that hover over news content and pull customers off of the page into a rabbit hole of garbage. This isn’t a news application as much as it is a repository of ads pocketed with predominately negative stories about human suffering and crime. If you wanted to help contribute to the pool of tools that do little more than increase our local pandemic of depression you have hit the nail on the head.Show lessTechnomotivated

Programming
We have missed the
Local news and weather reports. I watched it 2-3 times per day. Sadly I attempted to purchase NBC live streaming but was unable to do so. I have the CBS now Paramount plus. If Dish keeps this up we will no longer require their satellite. Thanksmacmeg5
Want local and national news fast? Go to KGW.
I am a news junky who has watched all the websites for our local area and have found KGW’s app the best of the bunch. It is easy to navigate, is accurate, and they don’t miss anything. I have watched the local competition and have found their websites difficult to navigate and not as complete as KGW.Show lessAngi3040
KGW Short News Updates
I like being able to quickly check in with the KGW news app to get a heads up on what’s going on locally.Neighbor hoodie
LOVE THE APP!
Love the app, use it often. Once in a while some content takes too long to load, but that might be my WiFi (?).plaidinfusedmom
Needs Restart App Feature
This app consistently hangs up when switching pages… especially after kgw uploads new content throughout the day. The blue “loading” wheel will turn and turn. The only way to reset the app is to power down and restart the device. There should be a reset feature in the settings menu for the app.Tennis Shoe Jones
Too bad zero stars isn’t an option
Intrusive ads pop up all over each story as you attempt to read and scroll through them. Also, the same old stories remain in the list for weeks after they are no longer relevant. Terrible User experience and human factors considerations of how a user expects to read local news stories.tonymro
Just not good
Be EXTREMELY carefully when scrolling through, because you will very likely get redirected to the app store for some useless app. This is a recent issue- for some reason this puff something whatever app is just waiting to be installed. You don't even have to touch the ad, just somewhere near for the annoying popup. Uninstalling kgw.Show lessToddzilla#toddzilla
Best news media available
We watch KGW because they have the most balanced news media out there. We also love “The Story”. Kyle, Dan, Matt, Laural, Cristin, Maggie and all the gang seem like they care and also have a sense of humor at the same time. We’ll keep watching.natur3girl
Horrible
If this is an update it’s a huge step backwards. Organization is poor at best. There is no overall view. You just start scrolling and stories appear without any semblance of logic. And the ads, please, stop. I know you need ads but really, there can be too many and this app exemplifies that.
If I want to browse local news stories I can’t. At least I can’t find out how to. You can select favorite topics but then you are inundated with alerts and I don’t want more alerts. But still no summary.
How about letting us pick our favorite topics then give us a feed that summarizes the stories in those topics.
Not worth it and removed.Show lesskdaphoto
